New Delhi, Sep 10 (IANS): Crude oil futures rose on Friday following continued supply concerns over Hurricane Ida's impact on the offshore output in the US.

Currently, the November contract of Brent crude futures on the Intercontinental Exchange is trading at $72.50 per barrel, higher by 1.47 per cent from its previous close.
